This was our second time using Lakewood Exterminating, and as before, we could not be more pleased. Shawn was prompt, pleasant and professional, and completed both the interior and exterior inspection along with treatment in under an hour. Once again, he was able to come out the same day we contacted him about the problem. We highly recommend this service!

I usually do not write reviews, but in this instance, i thought because of the great job Shawn did, i should. We were having a problem with gnats flying all over the house and could not locate the source. I called Lakewood Exterminating and the owner, Shawn, came out a day & 1/2 later. He identified the gnats as fungus flies, & found the source within minutes. He continued to check all our... plants and also checked and treated all of our drains. Also, used All Natural methods to solve our problem. He was professional, thorough, and explained fully any question we had. He emailed us after to check that we were fully satisfied, & if any further issues, to contact him since he wants us to be 100% happy with his work. We give him 5 stars because of his excellence.read more

Shawn answered the call himself and was able to give me an appointment the very next day. He was prompt and thorough and took time to explain what he found and he also patiently answered all my questions. I would highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating. It is rare to find such a personal, polite and knowledgeable service.

Shawn arrived early and had our issue analyzed quickly. He worked safely and reviewed everything he did with me before he left the house. I got a follow up email a couple days later to be sure we were satisfied and that our problem was under control. I highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating.

Shawn is very responsive and a real professional. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He helped me trap and remove a number of mice over multiple visits and sealed up gaps through which he thinks the may have been getting in. Reasonably priced and very friendly to do business with. Will use him again whenever I need his services.

I can’t recommend this company enough. We have been using them for a year now and couldn’t be happier. They are always on time and very communicative. The treatments last a long time for us and rarely ever see any insects in the house. Highly recommend

Shawn is awesome. He took the time to examine my property, identified all potential access points and treated the entire structure inside and out. He listened closely to my concerns and addressed them in a responsive and professional manner. If ever needed again, I would definitely use his services. I highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating.

Shawn returned almost immediately after telling him that we noticed some ants in the kitchen. He resprayed and inquired reassuring us that he would come back again if we notice any more ants. He is a guy you can count on to do the job correctly.
Dave Kosky

I highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating. Shawn is very responsive, thorough, gives a fair price, and does great work. He came out to our house and with one treatment was able to fix a mice problem that had plagued us for months.

The first thing my sister n law suggested I do when I bought my house was to find an exterminator. I was happy to find one close to where I live. I pay for the quarterly services which has been a life saver. I had a problem with bees and Shawn came out and sprayed in between my quarterly sprays and they were gone within hours. Highly recommend!
Iman Warren

Very prompt, knowledgeable and professional. Not just a sale, evident the goal was to thoroughly address and correct the issue. Delighted I selected Lakewood/Shawn for this service and without reservation will be my only contact for any future exterminator requirements. Thanks Shawn!

Lakewood Exterminating was responsive and extremely knowledgeable. He provided an overview of what was to be done, addressed our concerns about the pesticide and making sure it was not toxic for the environment. Lakewood Exterminating is a professional service and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating.

Bravo! We cannot say enough good things about Exterminator Payne (Owner Shawn) of Lakewood Exterminating. We have enlisted his services repeatedly over the years and his response-time and effectiveness is so incredible it boggles the mind. We're blown away!Most recently we called him because a hard-to-reach wasp (yellow jacket) nest buzzing about outside our west attic window on the third... floor, some 25' to 30' high, was quickly getting out of control. Within 15 minutes Shawn was on-the-scene inspecting the point of entry/exit while suiting-up in full coverage protective gear, and in less than an hour had completed his work and was on his way. Haven't heard a buzzing, gnawing, or chewing peep in our walls since. What a relief!Highly responsive, professional, personable, and affordable;Lakewood Exterminating will be our first choice every time.read more

This was my first time using Lakewood Exterminating. I chose them because they were rated high on the "Angie's List" website....now I know why. I called Shawn about a hornet nest problem at our daycare facility and he handled it super fast. Definitely will reach out to Lakewood Exterminating for any future needs.

Shawn was able to fit us in quickly and was very professional and responsive. He didn't just take care of the mice in the house, but also made sure to take care of possible ways in. We've been rodent free now for a month. Would absolutely recommend!

I reached out to Lakewood Exterminating due to a problem with the small ants. This year was bad. After treating the yard and perimeter of the house, we had a drastic decrease that night and no ants seen the next day. Lakewood Exterminating is now our go to exterminating company.We highly recommend them.

I would recommend this company without hesitation.They answer the phone when you call (!) and are courteous and helpful.They arrived on time (in fact a few minutes early) were helpful and informative. They also didn't pressure me about a monthly plan like most companies do. AND, the the ants were gone that same day.
Margo Haas

Shawn killed the wasp nest in my porch ceiling (and sealed the entry point). He also treated the rest of the exterior of my house. The wasps are gone! He is a delight to work with--I wish everyone was as conscientious and professional. Call him for your bug problems.

After weeks of ant issues I finally called to get a quote. Shawn was very reasonable on price, in fact he was below the average. He was very responsive to calls and emails and I had an appointment the next day, which was a government holiday. The treatment worked and we have had no problems since. I highly recommend.

We had a pavement ant issue for a while. We have controlled them inside ourselves with Terro and can usually get rid of them quick. We get them every summer. This summer we just couldn't control the nests they were forming outside. We have used other exterminators but didn't have good results. We decided to call Lakewood Exterminating because they have great reviews. Shawn has AMAZING... communication! Very quick to respond. He came out the same day we contacted him. He was very thorough in his treatment outside. A few days after he left we noticed some more activity. He came back and addressed the areas we saw activity in and it looks like things are under control now. Shawn cares about his customers and their satisfaction and stands behind his work. That's what we call a great company!read more

Shawn at Lakewood Exterminating really knows his stuff, quickly diagnosing who exactly was invading our front porch and boring holes in it. It turns out it was a carpenter bee (when I googled it, his diagnosis matched exactly with the pictures etc. I found online). He came out and immediately attacked the problem, with sprays and some 'direct action', which appears to have sorted the problem out... nicely. Great guy too. All in all, a great and trustworthy local business that deserves your support!read more

Shawn made himself available quickly for us on an early Sunday afternoon. He was thorough and placed traps in areas where the likelihood of traffic would be and explained areas on the outside of the house where entry was possible, which we quickly sealed up. The next morning a trap was set and the anxiety was gone. Lakewood Plant and Pest is definitely worth a call!

Lakewood Exterminating was able to accomodate a difficult scheduling issue with our tenants. The manner in which the technician handled the project gave me confidence that he knew what he was doing. They were on time and acted in a professional manner. Will use again if necessary.

We have used Lakewood Exterminating for years. Shawn is awesome! He is thorough and follows-up. We had a very bad year with little ants in the kitchen and he came back to bait again and left me extra traps in case. I know that I can reach out to him and he will respond and make sure it is right. He warranties his work and makes sure you are satisfied. I recommend Shawn and Lakewood Exterminating... to all my friends and family!read more

Shawn did a great job finding the source of an infestation that another company did little to location. Top notch professionalism, thorough, effective treatment and communicated prior to, during and after the visit. From now on, Lakewood Exterminating is our only go-to for regular and as-needed treatments. -Ian

I called Lakewood Exteminating regarding a potential insect issue I was unsure about, and Shawn was a true professional from start to finish. Fair and honest from the start, Shawn worked around my schedule, was prompt and conducted a thorough inspection. Happily, it turns out I didn't have the issue I thought I did, and he gave me a heads up on a different issue which I should be able to take... care of myself. I also asked for assistance with something else, and Shawn happily obliged. I just checked my email and he's already following up with me. I'm very impressed and happy to know I have a solid company behind me if I ever have another issue. I will recommend him if anyone I know needs help in future. Sincere thanks, Shawn, for a job well done!read more

I get my exterior sprayed for bugs yearly and they came out the same day I called. It is guaranteed for 60 days and totally worth the money to not see ants, centipedes, etc. all summer! It lasted longer than 60 days last time. Very prompt and professional company!

I initially called Shawn because of a mouse, and he was immediately responsive. I expressed concern about having to hire him in the middle of the COVID-19 quarantine, as I didn't want to put him or myself at risk, but he assured me that he would take every precaution.Between the time we scheduled and the day of the appointment, I discovered that a family of birds had broken into my attic, and... I hoped that he could take care of both problems to reduce the number of strangers coming over. He stated that he didn't usually work with birds and that he'd refer me to someone else after checking things out.Within minutes of arrival, Shawn was already removing the bird nest, sanitizing, and scaling a ladder to the third floor to install a new metal screen to replace the one the birds had destroyed. He even spray painted it to match my brick.At that point, checking for mice almost seemed like a bonus, but he thoroughly inspected for them, too. He plugged up holes outside the house that he thought might be entry points, then plugged up more when I showed other areas of concern.Shawn was professional but friendly, easy to work with, sanitary, and dedicated to solving the problem. He also followed up within 48 hours.I have not seen or heard any mice since he left. And while the birds are now nesting in my next door neighbor's patio awning (can't blame them for sticking around), they are not in my house!I would absolutely use Lakewood Exterminating again. Excellent service!read more

We had an animal (most likely a squirrel in our attic that we could hear at night) I sent Shawn an email and he called me first thing in the morning and was at the house by 12pm. He did a thorough search of the outside perimeter and sealed off any potential holes he found. He then climbed in the attic to look for an evidence of the animal and set down some poison. We have had no issues since. I... highly recommend his services and the price was very reasonable.read more

I've had a widespread case of ants around my home in Lakewood, and Shawn has done a wonderful job at quickly responding to any service calls I've needed.In many of the locations, the pests have stayed a way, in trouble spots, he honors his guarantee and comes back quickly and solves the problem. I will absolutely be calling him for future pest issues.

Shawn responded to my email quickly. He was readily available and we made an appointment for the following day. Shawn arrived early and quickly identified the source of my mouse problem from just observing the foundation of my home. He laid out traps and filled the holes they were coming in from. He explained to me what he discovered clearly. He followed up within a couple days to see if anything... had changed and there was already a mouse caught in one of his traps. Great efficient work!! Will use him again if ever needed.read more

We had a mouse problem which we tried to deal with ourselves for months. My husband finally gave in and called Shawn. He came over the next day, figured out how the mice were getting in and solved the problem!

This company is the absolute best. Amazing customer service.They respond quickly and are very reasonably priced.

When I found that wasps had invaded my basement, Lakewood Exterminating was able to quickly work me into their schedule to come out and spray. They were prompt and efficient as well as nice to my overly curious cats. The wasps returned today, in my upstairs this time, and they managed to squeeze me in at the end of the day. A massive relief because wasps near the bedroom do not for a good night's... sleep make. I hope to not need an exterminator again but if I do, I will certainly be a repeat customer.read more

If I recall correctly from my own business training, I think the primary question that a business wants answered from its customers is, "Would you recommend this company to family and friends?" I can answer that with a definite, "YES!" I highly recommend their services to family, friends, non-family and non-friends. 🙂

Lakewood Exterminating was at my neighbors house and I had noticed his truck. Once he was done working next door, I ended up asking him a few questions about mice I have found inside my house from time to time. He was very polite and knowledgeable. He did a walk around and quoted on the spot! To my surprise it was very affordable and he performed the work right then! After the service I was... showed and informed what he had done. I was very surprised by the whole experience, how painless it would be to safeguard the house from pests. He didn’t up sell or try to sell me something I didn’t need which was also a plus. I will definitely be setting up regular visits from Lakewood Exterminating!read more

I originally found Lakewood Exterminating about 3 years ago when hornets made a large nest in a back wall of our house. They came and used a special powder on the nest and entire house and we didnt have an issue until recently.Naturally I called them again when bees made a huge colony under the mulch in our front flower bed. They were at the house for 15 minutes; killed the nest and did a... preventive spray of the house. The bees and the colony were gone by the time I came home from work 4 hours later.Super affordable. Cool guys who recognize the importance of the service they provide which is good for those who have severe allergies. Have them come out and you'll see why so many people gave them 5 star reviews.read more

My service with Lakewood Exterminating was wonderful. Shawn was able to diagnose my issues immediately and got the problem solved.

He was professional in his job. He was running but called and apologized letting us know he was on his way and he was here. If he comes through on his policy of coming back out to the house within 30 days I will never use anyone else but him and highly recommend him. That is why its only 4 stars but I look forwarded to making to changing it to 5 stars.

Shawn was fantastic throughout the whole experience. We found a dead mouse and signs of more that were in the house. Shawn came out the next day and was able to solve the issue swiftly. We would highly recommend!

I have used Lakewood Exterminating for several years . Owner, Shawn Payne, has always been incredibly responsive, absolutely professional and competitively priced. He has worked on several of my rental properties, dealing with issues from spiders to mice. He shows up to do the work within a day or two of my request. No one wants to deal with a bug or rodent problem for a minute longer by the time... the professional is called in! Highly recommended.read more

Shawn is an absolute lifesaver and I highly recommend him! He does an exceptional job from start to finish. He is very responsive to calls and emails, really thorough at assessing and communicating the problem and most importantly—he gets the job done! His pricing seems fair and he’ll make several trips to your house if needed. He has helped us twice now with 2 separate issues. Our first issue,... we had squirrels getting into our walls due to a hole in the siding. Shawn set the most impressive series of traps on our very awkwardly angled roof. He came back multiple times to check the traps and eventually to patch the house. I just can’t recommend him enough. His work and professionalism will give you such peace of mind. Thank you, Shawn!read more

Lakewood Exterminating has done work for our property management company. Over the years we have seen some difficult situations, including homes infested with bed bugs. They have been very successful and their work is timely and diligent. We always know that our investors and tenants are in good hands when we send Lakewood Exterminating.

Shawn was great to work with when I had squirrels getting in my attic through rotted wood on my house. He was very patient and accessible at all times during the capture process. He also openly shared his knowledge on how to repair the damage the squirrels made. Highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating for anyone having animal intrusion issues.

It has been about a month since Shawn came out to deal with German cockroaches in our house. We weren't at the level of an infestation (thankfully), but we had seen a couple in our bathroom and bedroom. We are pleased to report that we haven't seen any since he treated our home. He was quick, courteous, and very professional. We would definitely hire him again.

Great experience. If you are looking for a company to solve your pest problem look no further. I cant judge the longevity of the solution as the service was just performed, however all other aspects where A+:1. Professionalism A+2. Knowing ones job : A+3. On time every time, responsiveness to calls, explaining the issue : A+4. Ease of payment (payment only after the job is done, can pay... withe card, can pay online) A+5. People skills: A+read more

This was the second time I've used Lakewood Exterminating and I'd recommend to anyone. Shawn is very reliable, polite and thorough and the price seems incredibly reasonable to me - I'd pay just about anything to get rid of the things invading my house and always feel like I'm getting a bargain!

Shawn did a fantastic job of eliminating a horrifying house centipede invasion that was affecting all 4 levels of my house. He kept at the problem by applying a variety of treatments until the problem was resolved. I had tried other another exterminator before using Lakewood Exterminating - that exterminator failed to solve the problem. I will continue to use Shawn/Lakewood Exterminating in... the future.read more

I've been using Lakewood Exterminating for a few years now and have been very pleased with the results. They always make quick work of my ant problems! The spraying and bait traps both seem to be very effective. I've never had luck with store bought bait traps but the ones they use really draw the ants to them! The service is thorough, professional and well priced. Thanks guys!

I had mice in a house I recently purchased and my traps were not catching them but the cats were kind enough to bring the mice (alive) upstairs. So I called Lakewood Pest Control and they came right away. He showed me where the mice were getting in at and patched up the hole for me. He also pointed out other areas that could be potential problems which was such a great help. So far, no more mice... which I am very grateful for. I believe they are priced great! If I ever have anymore problems with pests, they hands down will be the first company I contact.read more

Shawn was so incredibly responsive. We have a rental property that we take great pride in. He handled the issue quickly. Our tenants were happy, and we are happy. One thing I really liked is that he made some recommendations that we were able to use to keep future "visitors" away.

Shawn is absolutely fantastic. He is knowledgeable in his business and explains everything he is going to do and why. He tells you what he finds and how he is going to rectify the problem and how that solution is going to solve the problem. I had rodents and ants! Quite unnerving for myself and my dogs and he was confident he could solve my problem. He is very reasonable compared to other... companies and easy to get a hold of and responds right away. Would highly recommend Shawn!read more

I cannot rate Shawn and Lakewood Exterminating high enough! I live in Washington DC and have tenants living in my house in Cleveland. I've used Lakewood Exterminating several times now for various pests.When my tenant needed a mouse situation resolved quickly, Shawn came that very night to put out traps and do an assessment to identify additional steps I could take to prevent mice from getting... into the house. He is incredibly professional and honest, and he always makes me feel like my business is a priority.Lakewood Exterminating also sends me quotes and bills electronically so that I can easily submit payment. It's great to be able to trust his services when living remote. Highly recommend them!!!!!read more

I had a rodent in my basement that I was unsuccessful in removing myself after 2 days of trying (and wasted dollars spent on many traps purchased). Hesitant to pay someone (I'm a DIYer) but wanting it gone asap was an internal debate, but boy I am SO glad that I called Shawn. He was very professional, quick working, flexible with his schedule, and even went above and beyond what I expected in... protecting my home from another unwanted rodent squatter. He noticed things I never would have and was very knowledgeable on the whole process and removal. Low and behold the rodent was gone from my basement within two days and now I have a peace of mind that my house will be rodent free from now on. If you're unsure about calling someone, JUST DO IT. Call Shawn. It's worth every penny & if I run in to any future pest issues he will be my first contact. Thanks again Lakewood Exterminating!read more

You guys were fast and came when we needed you to. You were also 40% cheaper than a service I used 3 years ago and did a better job getting rid of the pests as well as taking preventive measures. Staff was very nice and polite. If I need you again, I'll definitely call, and if a friend needs a pest control company I will be sure to recommend you.

Shawn (the owner) was very responsive to email questions, and very quick to schedule an appointment that worked with my schedule (and budget!).
He is very knowledgeable about what he does, and was responsive to my concerns with critters that I had no idea what their proper names were (lol).
Prices are super reasonable ~ which is a huge deal for a lot of people. 🙂
Very... glad I found them (instead of paying a fortune with Orkin or another company) and highly recommend Lakewood Exterminating.read more

He sprayed for spiders on my porches and even got rid of the wasp nest in my window pane. I haven't seen anything since in 2 weeks. I highly recommend! Great service at a great price.

Shawn is our go-to guy now for anything pest-related. We called him about a skunk problem, and he came out immediately. He is easy to reach, extremely knowledgable, reasonably priced, and thorough. The problem required some handy-work to prevent it happening again, and Shawn installed a great solution. He also found some other unwanted tenants in our crawl space, and took care of that issue... as well! He is invested in making sure your pest issue is completely solved. Look no further!read more

Can't say enough good things about Lakewood Exterminating! The owner (Shawn) is very professional and knowledgeable.

Called Shawn about a problem with mice that I was having. He responded quickly and came out the next day when I was available. Not only did he set traps, but he also sealed off the entry points into the home, which most exterminators would not do. I would recommend Lakewood Exterminating to anyone in need.

After returning home from a summer vacation beach rental we realized the dreaded bedbugs made the trip back as well. Countless hours were spent researching how to resolve the problem. I spent money on a professional looking steamer and over the counter defense measures (organic sprays, non organic sprays, diatomaceous earth, mattress encasements(you need these)). The application of this... treatment knocked them back. I thought they were gone. 4 months later, they were back.Lakewood Exterminating came out, educated me on the reasons of my failure (over the counter products don't work) then proceeded with a multi-step treatment. I wish I would have just done this after first realizing the problem.We now isolate our bags and clothes after returning from trips. Definitely not something we want to go through again.read more

He didn't quit until the issue was resolved. Shawn communicated with me often to let me know the progress and he answered all of my questions. He was always happy to take the time.In addition, I hired... him to do a few "handy man" things around the house, and he did a great job with those as well.You will be extremely pleased with his service!!

Shawn was great for our ant problem. I tried every available over the counter product imaginable to get rid of the ants in or house to no avail. I called Shawn and a few days later there was little to no ant traffic where it had been heavy. Shawn was also careful to keep the bait out of reach from my small dogs, I appreciate this attention to detail. He even came back for a follow up to make... sure those ant jerks were banished completely. I recommend him completely!read more

Go to Shawn, for ANY pest problem that you have. I have had another company come to my home to remove pest, and they only did ONE area in my house without any prior inspection. Shawn demonstrated knowledge and professionalism that you can only find at his company. He cares about his customers concerns and addresses the problem. Most importantly he loves what he does. Save your time and headache... with other places and go here!read more

Excellent service. I was able to make a same-day appointment for Shawn to come and help us tackle our mouse problem.

We highly recommend Lakewood Plant and Pest. We had the little black carpenter ants in our kitchen. After unsuccessfully trying to get rid of them ourselves we finally called an exterminator. We called Shawn in the morning and he was here the same day. He sprayed and the ants were gone in a day or two. Unfortunately the ants came back in again so he came back and sprayed again. We have not... seen an ant since. He is very reasonably priced compared to other pest controls in the area. If we need an exterminator in the future we know who to call.read more

Fast and friendly! Had an issue with carpenter ants in my garage. Called up and made appointment. I was running late and missed the appointment and no problem they just rescheduled for later that evening.

Would definitely use again and would definitely recommend.read more

Five stars are not enough to rate Shawn and the great job he did for us. We had a large bee hive above our ceiling, and the bees were eating their way through the drywall and infiltrating our home. He came over at 5 a.m. on a Sunday, when the bees weren't active, and took care of the problem. The poor guy got stung about four times, but handled that so well. Then he cleaned everything up to... perfection.Also, it must be said, as well, that Shawn was VERY responsive. He called me back from the park with his kids, and made me feel as though this is not a problem for him to take care of for me. Everyone else I tried to call before him (Saturday afternoon) wasn't willing to help or didn't answer messages, even though they were still "open."Shawn is the Best!!! Thank you!! We will be calling you now for the plant/yard work you do, too.I know Shawn will continue to have great success with his business, based on his excellent work ethic, sincere kindness, and his obvious knowledge about that which he does, competently ridding his customers of the pests we had with ease.read more

He's quick but thorough with the work, and very knowledgeable about plants, trees, and soil. For sure we'll hire him again.

My pest problem was history. This spring I had a new problem. I called Lakewood Plant and Pest and within 24 hours my problem was addressed. Shawn is professional, peasant and neat.
